It could still do 176mph apparently which I guess is enough for most apart from people like Norfolknweigh.

The hp amounts today seem insane to me but then again so do the weights. I mean a 400hp A class with enough electronics to crack Fermat's Last Theorem, give me a proper mini any day.

Yours from Ludditeshire.

I just had a look as well.
Someone must have had a pretty liquid lunch to think that up or maybe they thought they were a nascent car designer.
